A two-night electronic music showcase featuring 11 international and regional artists is scheduled to take place at Jeddah's ONYX Arena on Oct. 29 and 30.

MDLBEAST Presents is returning to Jeddah with a two-day electronic music showcase scheduled for Oct. 29 and 30 at the ONYX Arena.

The event features an 11-artist lineup spanning house, techno, melodic and underground electronic genres, pairing international performers with local and regional acts across both nights.

The opening night on Oct. 29 includes performances by BLOND, Jimi Jules and German DJ Boris Brejcha, who is known for his signature joker mask and previous appearances at major festivals such as Coachella and Tomorrowland. They will share the stage with Saudi DJs Baloo and Vinyl Mode.

The second night on Oct. 30 will feature sets from Argy, Loco Dice, Steve Angello and Dennis Cruz, alongside regional artists Blacky and HiFi.

MDLBEAST originally introduced the ONYX Arena, which has a capacity of more than 12,000, as part of Jeddah Season. The venue previously staged the entertainment company's 2025 summer series, hosting acts such as the Black Eyed Peas, Central Cee and Metro Boomin.

Founded in 2019 with its flagship Soundstorm festival in Riyadh, the Saudi music company has since expanded into record labels and venues. Ahmed Al-Ammary, the firm's chief creative officer who performs as DJ Baloo, said the upcoming show marks his debut at the arena.

“This will be the first time I play this venue and alongside a great lineup of artists. I especially love playing in Jeddah because of the enthusiasm of the crowd, they come with some serious bounce, and I can’t wait,” Al-Ammary said.

Saudi DJ and producer Vinyl Mode also highlighted the unifying appeal of the genre, saying: “Music is a universal language. On the dance floor, we unite and dance to one beat. It doesn’t matter where you come from, what language you speak, or what color you are. All that matters is the music.”
